“I was very happy with Jaideep and his wife. During the meet and greet, I felt so comfortable. Zara made herself at home immediately. They kept me updated several times a day with messages and pictures, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that my little girl was well cared for and getting lots of attention. I truly appreciated the communication. I will be using them again. Highly recommended!”
“Sujeong & Changsun were extremely attentive to our dog. Cooper had a great stay! They sent us updates throughout the night which kept us more at ease as Cooper can be rather anxious at times. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a pet sitter in this area!”
“De’Andra and Robert took great care of Beans! They had excellent communication throughout the stay and kept me updated with many pictures, which I really appreciated. Beans came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I would definitely recommend them and wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. 🐕”
“This is the second time we have boarded with Ms. Anna - I cannot say enough praise - she is amazing with our high energy Husky! She sent updates and photos and genuinely loves animals. She is our go-to caregiver :)”
“I DEFINITELY recommend Angel and will rebook with her if I need boarding in the future. Angel was responsive to all messages and seemed like she really loves dogs. She sent pictures during his stay and he seemed like he had enjoyed himself when I came by to pick him up. Thanks Angel for taking care of my Denim on such short notice.”
“I could tell that Marley was cared for. He was full of energy and happy when I went to pick him up. I was told that their dog will miss Marley and that’s the kind of impression I love hearing about him.”
“Goose was so happy after his overnight stay with Oleg! He was able to play and get lots of love at his house. Oleg was responsive and flexible with us to make it a pleasant experience for us just as much as it was for Goose!”
“I felt very good about the care I was receiving from videos and pictures. I felt max was in good hands and it showed a very well organised house with a fenced in yard in the back. I will definitely use him again. Thanks again”
“Bobbi was amazing and one of a kind. I have no worries when she watched my baby boy. She kept me updated with photos, open communication, and shared videos throughout the few days which made my mama's heart worry less. I will not hesitate to rebook her. I joked that I wanted to stay because of her welcoming, sweet presence. Absolutely genuinely will rebook Bobbi. Chance will be so happy to come play with her 2 little lovely girls again!”
“Amy and Patrick took wonderful care of our 7 month old pup. They have great communication, love for animals and are kind and wonderful people. Very highly recommended. Thanks for taking the best care of our puppy so we could have a great stress free vacation knowing she was well loved!! Thanks for the daily updates as well!!”
“Marinda is awesome! Great, safe outdoor space for the pups and a great host. She went the extra mile with my 10 week old puppy when she noticed a lump on his neck and figured out that it was a bot fly. She removed it, cleaned it and even sent me pics along the way. Absolutely recommend her and she’ll be our first choice in the future!”
“Amanda and her family did an excellent job caring for Aspen while we were away for the holiday. Our dog is usually fairly anxious when we have to leave her and stressed out when we return. This time she did so much better. She was happier and more relaxed. Amanda also provided pictures of our pup daily and Aspen really seemed to love spending time with Amanda and her family. If we need to board her again we will definitely use Amanda.”
“Vivian did a great job watching my dog! She gave very good updates throughout and it seemed like he had a blast with lots of time running around in her nice big yard. It is very clear Vivian loves animals and treats all the dogs she watches like they are her own.”
“Rodger is amazing. We have a 2-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog who is HIGH energy and very large. Rodger was wonderful, sending frequent text and photo updates of our dog's care. Our dog got great care and came back happy! We have used Rodger before and we will continue to use him!”
“Could not have been happier with Anton. My dog is shy and anxious, and Anton did a great job of both taking care of him and making sure that my dog felt safe and secure enough to socialize. We were provided updates and pictures (which were incredible). Also, when our flight was delayed, Anton was kind enough to watch my dog for a few extra hours. It made a stressful situation much easier to handle. My dog's bedding was even freshly washed when I picked him up. I would highly recommend boarding your pet with Anton. I will definitely use his services again in the future.”
“Very welcoming & made my fur baby feel right at home! Communication was prompt and received updates with photos. Above & beyond service. Will definitely book again and refer to others. Thank you!”

“Cassidy did another amazing job sitting for our 2 kitties. This time, it was just one night. Even though it was so short, she treated it as if it were a full week-long stay. I had updated their feeding instructions, and she was totally on board with it and was also good making amendments last minute to accomodate Kit healing from his kittty cold. The place was also immaculate again when we returned. I had texted Cassidy randomly at 10pm about the power outage notification I received, and she responded immediately, saying everything was ok, and mentioned she was playing with the kitties and doing laser with them 💕😻🌈 I am also so impressed with how Cassidy bonds with our kitties. I can tell they really like her and remember her. We already have her booked again for later this month!”
“Our animals were in great hands with Audrey! She was prompt at visitation times, very clear on her duties with them , and provided great communication with pictures daily while we were away. She’s a 10/10 !!”
“Brandy was responsive, caring and attentive. I applaud her efforts getting to know our cat. Her reports are genuine and detailed. We appreciate the love of animals she has that makes her such a responsible petsitter. We highly recommend requesting her for your next vacay.”
“I cannot recommend Shyann enough! I had to make a last-minute booking, and they completely exceeded my expectations. Even with the short notice, they insisted on doing a meet-and-greet to make sure my dog was comfortable and that all instructions were clear—a level of professionalism and care I truly didn't expect given the tight timeline. They are reliable, incredibly sweet with my pup, and provided fantastic updates. It is such a relief to find someone so dependable and accommodating. I will absolutely be booking again!”
“Beth was amazing and took such good care of our cat!! She was very understanding with a communication error in the beginning, and spent a lot of time playing with our cat who can be shy at first but warmed right up to her! We will definitely be using her again- thanks Beth!”
“Diana was wonderful with my 2 cats! One of my cats tends to be very loud with meows and hissing, but she had no problem with it and was still able to care for them well!”
“Ashley and John took great care of our cats and chickens during our 2 week getaway. They provided daily updates and made sure our home was secure. Highly recommended and we will be using their services in the future.”
“Veronica did a great job! She offered and came for a pre- visit to see the house and meet our cat. While we were away, Veronica sent new pictures and made an effort to find our cat and give her a scratch each day! (Not something other Rover sitters have done)”
About: I currently share my home with three cats—Chewy, Peanut, and Tigger (though they’d probably say they own me 😸). After 30+ years of cat ownership, I know that every cat has their own personality, preferences, and very strong opinions about routine. I’m comfortable caring for social cats, shy cats, senior cats, and those with medical needs. My cat Chewy has asthma, and I trained him to use an inhaler for his daily treatments, so I understand the patience and consistency some pets require. I stay on top of vet care, maintain pet insurance, and know how important it is to notice when something seems “off.” Whether your cat wants playtime, quiet companionship, or simply someone who respects their space and routine, I’ll provide dependable, attentive care while you’re away.
“Abby was incredible! I could go on and on for days. I have never used this service and was so nervous to have a stranger in my home with my prized possession our bean but with her I felt no apprehension at all. She came a few days before to meet him and allow us to ask questions. Her communication throughout the days was great. She was extremely kind and accommodating and my introvert cat acceptable loved her. Will definitely book her over and over for any needs we may have in the future. Could not rate her anymore highly.”
“Jessica was great with our cats. The one is usually not big on people and she would come out for pictures every visit. She was very detailed in her report after each detail. Highly recommend.”
“Jyllian was absolutely amazing as my cat sitter. I was away on an extended trip and was nervous about having to leave my cat for that long. She went above and beyond with updating me and provided very detailed summaries each day along with so many pictures which showed how much love she put into caring for my cat. Not only that, but she is a vet tech so that made me feel even more comfortable in case something went wrong. She truly has the biggest heart for animals and I would very easily recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter! Thank you so much, Jyllian!!!!”
“Amanda was wonderful! We did a meet and great and she quickly learned what we needed done each day of our trip. After the meet and great I was still worried and she was very willing to make another trip out to our home before our trip to appease me. She was very concerned about our one cat because she would not eat for her, but she worked it out and tried different things to gain Mikad trust and she finally trusted Amanda to come out and eat. She was quick to respond to me any time I reached out to her. We were very happy!”

“Sujeong was extremely responsive; she sent pictures of pepper regularly. She went above and beyond to make pepper feel comfortable; my dog is usually very nervous and shy with someone new but I could see how she extremely comfortable with Sujeong. If I’m ever in the area again, I’ll definitely contact them again for dog boarding!”
“Jaydeep was absolutely amazing with our dog! We left our pup with him for 8 days, and he went above and beyond to keep us updated every single day with photos and messages. It was so reassuring to see how happy and comfortable our dog was under his care. You can tell Jaydeep truly loves and understands dogs — he treated ours like his own. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely book with him again!”
“Casey was absolutely amazing! We were in a last-minute pinch while attending Hersheypark and reached out less than an hour before we needed care for our two dogs. Not only did she respond quickly, but she was able to accommodate us on very short notice. She was incredibly friendly, caring, and loving with our dogs, and it gave us complete peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. We are so grateful for her help and would not hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend Casey to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!”
“Kathleen was awesome with our pups for a day of daycare while we visited Hershey Park for the day. Super responsive and made us feel at ease leaving them. She sent lots of updates and we could enjoy our day out knowing our dogs were in great hands!”
“Dylan had an absolutely wonderful day with Michele, Nahla and Theo! Since it was his first day I was prepared to pick him up at noon time, but he was having so much fun he stayed until much later in the afternoon. We have already booked another full day in the very near future and I suspect this will be part of our routine! Michele is wonderful with animals and her dogs are happy, laid-back and great with those who come to play. I have absolutely no reservations about my beloved pup being with Michele and furry family members and give her an A+”
“Finn seemed to be having a good time every time I got a photo!! Scott was very nice and I felt comfortable leaving Finn with them. Thanks for providing a safe space to stay!!”
“Melissa is awesome and Diglett had a great time! Excellent communication and super responsive. Melissa sent me cute pictures during the day which I really appreciated. Definitely taking Diglett to Melissa again in the future.”
“Dan and his wife were excellent doggy hosts. They made drop-off and pickup quick and simple. They gave picture updates and were great with communicating. I also loved that my spoiled dog had a couch to nap on. I will book again.”
“Molly took amazing care of my Dallas and always sent me pics to update me on how he was doing! He is a puppy, so she did an amazing job at handling his energy well :) would 10/10 recommend booking her to watch your pup!”
“Amanda was quick to respond and answered all my questions. She was attentive to our puppy's needs and shared an update with us during the day. She was personable and treated our dog like one of her own. We would be happy to have her watch our puppy again!”
“Thank you to Warren and Kelly and kids for taking such wonderful care of my pup Ginger She got so much love and attention. I wouldn't be able to travel like I do if it weren't for them and the wonderful care they give to my pup. I can travel care free thanks to them. Thank you soooo much!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for awhile now maybe around 8 years and I have my own dog that is 4 years old and he’s really about medium size I am very capable of taking care and managing the time needed to take care of a dog. I will continuously walk the dogs and play with them as well as feed them. I’ve been loved by dogs always and will never try to force myself on them. I will care for your dogs like they are my own and take care of them to my best abilities as long as your willing to let me take care of them. I definitely will stay in contact with the owners and let you know if anything happens.
“Danette was such a sweetheart and took care of my Dexter last minute when we decided to take a last minute trip to Hershey Park. She is so knowledgeable and patient and treated Dexter like one of her own. Dexter came home worn out from a long day of play which is just what he needed to get his mind off of his “pawrents” being gone for the day. If we lived in the area, I would use her every time!”
About: Hi! My name is Kristen and I've been a true animal lover my whole life. I've grown up having animals and I have a deep love for anything furry. I'm a happily married, stay at home mom to a toddler. We recently lost our special needs senior pup of 14 years. We miss him so very much. He was my everything. I truly understand loving your pet like a child and will treat them as such. I have 7 years of experience in veterinary medicine and know how to handle most pet emergencies calmly. References are available. I am looking to start pet care full time, as animals are my passion. I have open availability but can only work with dogs, as I'm allergic to cats. I can do walks, playtime, overnight boarding in my home, or day care. Senior pets are my specialty! I am looking to transition into full time pet care, as I now have the time as a stay at home mom! I am able to provide walks several times a day, and all day attention & love. We live in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood, where I can walk your pet several times a day. Our senior dog recently passed away and we miss having a pet in the home tremendously, but we aren’t ready to welcome a new personal pet just yet. Animals are welcome to sleep on furniture in my home and cuddle like I would my own animal. My home is their home while they’re with us. We have a 14 month old son, so your pet needs to be comfortable around children. He is good about not touching, but he is a typical toddler and makes noise throughout the day.
“Sandra is amazing! My puppy loved staying with her and her sons. Sandra was flexible with timing and provided updates and pictures throughout the day. We’ll definitely be using her whenever we visit the area!”

About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats since I was a young girl. I know a lot about body language, feeding routines, and behavior. I have no issues with any pets, as long as they don't bite! I work a full time job as a barista, hours ranging between 4:30a-3:30p sometimes even as late as 4:00 (I try to change my availability on Rover as I get my work schedule!), but I want to incorporate my pet care calling into my life, so I decided to pick this up as a part time! Caring for your animal, depending on dog or cat, I will have them leashed outside when walking, and monitor when outside in a fenced in yard, or given treats!
“Cassidy walked my Millie girl almost every weekday while I was at work for 6 months. She’s been fantastic with my crazy girl and we will both miss her very much (we are moving). She’s very thoughtful and kind to my baby even when she can be a bit of a pain on walks. Appreciate her patience and love! Wishing her all the best. 😭❤️”
“Matthew did a fantastic job taking care of our Boston Terrier while we were gone for over a week. He visited our home twice a day for feeding, walking, and playing and gave frequent updates. We felt so much more at ease leaving our dog at home while we traveled thanks to Matthew. We will use him again.”
About: I've been caring for animals for as long as I can remember; from dog sitting for families in my community to working professionally in a veterinary office for three years as a veterinary technician and kennel assistant. In that role, I helped with pets that were boarded whether it was feeding, exercising, monitoring, or just caring and loving for them. My role also included administering medications and ensuring each animal was comfortable, healthy, and well cared for 100% of the time. Working in a veterinary setting taught me how to recognize changes in behavior, respond calmly in unexpected situations, and provide compassionate care tailored to each pet's needs. Whether your dog needs a long walk, playtime, an extended period of care, or extra patience and attention, I'll treat them with the same love, respect, and dedication that I do my own two dogs. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is safe, happy, and in caring hands. I’m currently in summer training for college sports as well as a few other various commitments, but I will do my best to accommodate the care needed for your pet! I will follow directions for caring for pets in their homes to a tee with close attention, and ask questions when not sure. Since I have 2 dogs of my own, I unfortunately cannot care for pets in my home.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong pet owner currently owned by three cats—Chewy, Peanut, and Tigger 😸 With 30+ years of hands-on animal care experience, I know every pet has their own personality, routines, and very specific opinions. I’m comfortable caring for cats and dogs with a variety of needs, including medical support—my cat Chewy has asthma, so I’m experienced with daily treatments and paying attention when something seems off. I’ve also cared for dogs of different sizes, from my own growing up to helping with my brother’s Great Dane. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else, and I’ll care for them with patience, reliability, and the same attention I’d want for my own pets. Since I work from home in Hummelstown, I have flexibility in my schedule that makes pet care a great fit. I intentionally keep my service area close to home so I can reliably stop by in the morning, during lunch, and after work for visits, walks, feedings, or check-ins. I’d rather provide consistent, attentive care to nearby pets than overextend myself. I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to their normal routines and feel safe in their own environment. In your home, I’ll follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any little quirks or preferences that make your pet comfortable. Safety is very important to me, whether that means double-checking doors and gates, following leash safety, being mindful of food restrictions, or simply paying attention if a pet seems stressed or not acting like themselves. As a longtime pet owner—including caring for a cat with daily medical needs—I know how important attentiveness and consistency are. I also understand the trust involved in having someone care for your pets and enter your home, and I take that responsibility seriously.
“Siyani is absolutely AMAZING! My rescued pup is a reactive dog, and it’s usually very difficult for him to warm up to new people,!especially when it comes to walks or being cared for by someone new. But with Siyani, he felt safe right away!! She has such a calm, kind energy that made Toby comfortable and confident, which is something I honestly didn’t think I would find outside of our family. Finding someone who can handle a rescue pup with patience and love is rare, and Siyani has completely earned my trust. This experience gave me the peace of mind I needed, and now I know I’ve found my go-to sitter for Toby, not only for dog walks but also for when I travel. I couldn’t recommend her enough!!”
“Abby did a great job caring my my dog! She was quick to respond to messages and took lots of pictures during their walk, which brightened my day. Would definitely book again!”
About: I was working in a Dog daycare for 5 years before I started my own business. In that time I also received my dog training certificate. I have worked with puppies all the way up to senior dogs in my time working with animals. Pet care is my full time job. All I need are the days you're looking for and I can add you onto my schedule. I also offer limited services on the weekends I travel to my clients for the services requested. Depending on the set up of the clients house determines how I go about looking after the animal. I always request that vet information be readily available just incase anything happens and I generally like to meet the animal first to make sure they are comfortable with me before I commit to working with them.
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life. They have always been a major thing to me. I love being able to be the person people trust with their pets because I know how important people’s pets are to them. I have taken care of every animal under the sun! Dogs and birds are my personal favorite. I have my own dog named Loki! He is a black lab and border collie mix! I work part time and always have time to go home in the middle of my shift during break as well! I always make sure I give my pets and especially others pets the care they deserve I have a really sweet friendly puppy! He is a Labrador and border collie mix. I don’t have a fenced in yard but I have a huge walkway for nice long walks.
“Diana accepted a last minute request (day before). She came to pick up key that day and did meet ‘n greet with husband to get instructions. On day of walk, she was on time, called when our fickle front door stuck in the humidity. On the call, after the door opened, it was clear both her and Lizzy our maltipoo were excited to see each other. We got picture and walk info. She left the key in our drop mailbox as she left so we didn’t have to worry or track her down. Very professional! We would definitely book Diana again.”
“Alexandra has done an excellent job checking in on my puppy! She makes sure my girl has enough water, snacks, and exercise. Even with puppy behavior, Alexandra doesn’t seem to shy away from my lil girl! Would definitely recommend booking her for your walking/check in needs.”
“Molly was super responsive to my messages. She agreed to walk my Millie with little notice, before even meeting. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a caring dog-walker.”
About: I have taken care of so many different types of animals, ranging in all ages. I have no boundaries with pets :)) I love them all so much and will love your baby like they’re my own. I work almost every weekday starting from between 3:30-5:30pm until as late as 8-10pm My availability is open otherwise and I can work around your schedule. I keep my eyes on the pet/s at all times when outdoors, and monitor as necessary in the house. I might as well be a helicopter (pet) mom.

“I could tell that Marley was cared for. He was full of energy and happy when I went to pick him up. I was told that their dog will miss Marley and that’s the kind of impression I love hearing about him.”
“Goose was so happy after his overnight stay with Oleg! He was able to play and get lots of love at his house. Oleg was responsive and flexible with us to make it a pleasant experience for us just as much as it was for Goose!”

Thanks for taking the best care of our puppy so we could have a great stress free vacation knowing she was well loved!! Thanks for the daily updates as well!!”
“Marinda is awesome! Great, safe outdoor space for the pups and a great host. She went the extra mile with my 10 week old puppy when she noticed a lump on his neck and figured out that it was a bot fly. She removed it, cleaned it and even sent me pics along the way. Absolutely recommend her and she’ll be our first choice in the future!”
“Amanda and her family did an excellent job caring for Aspen while we were away for the holiday. Our dog is usually fairly anxious when we have to leave her and stressed out when we return. This time she did so much better. She was happier and more relaxed. Amanda also provided pictures of our pup daily and Aspen really seemed to love spending time with Amanda and her family. If we need to board her again we will definitely use Amanda.”
“Rodger is amazing. We have a 2-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog who is HIGH energy and very large. Rodger was wonderful, sending frequent text and photo updates of our dog's care. Our dog got great care and came back happy! We have used Rodger before and we will continue to use him!”
“Very welcoming & made my fur baby feel right at home! Communication was prompt and received updates with photos. Above & beyond service. Will definitely book again and refer to others. Thank you!”
“Tiffany immediately put us at ease. The attention she paid, not only to our needs, but the needs of our dog also. She kept us informed as to the activities she and Andy were doing, and sent numerous photos. He acted like he didn’t want to leave at the end of his stay.”
“She has provided us with daily updates/photos of our dog. She replied to our questions promptly. She made sure that our dog feels comfortable at their home.”
“Betsy and Ron provide a perfect home away from home for our Coco! They are keenly sensitive to individual pup’s personalities and needs. She even cleaned off a windowsill for Coco because looking outside is her favorite pastime. Taking only one at a time, they give your dog all the attention. Another huge plus to me—their house is spotlessly clean. 5 stars is not quite enough!”
“Livy had the best time staying at their house! I got photos and videos everyday of my little peanut. I was so pleased with how she was cared for! I would happily send livy back.”
“Layla was well cared for and was very content during her stay with Letisia and the family. We enjoyed seeing the daily pics sent and were very pleased to see Layla relaxed and comfy.”
“Krista and her family were fantastic in caring for our dog, Ellie. She was easy to make plans with, quickly responded to messages, and her yard is perfect for dogs to safely play. Krista went the extra mile by helping us work with our dog’s special diet. Highly recommend!”
“Desiree is AMAZING! She is so personable and our dog absolutely loved her. She kept us updated on how our puppy was doing and is very flexible. We would highly recommend her to watch your fur baby.”
“I've trusted Ashley and Jerrell with Leo multiple times now, and they've been amazing every single time. They treat him like family, keep me updated, and give me complete peace of mind whenever I'm away. Leo always comes home happy and well cared for. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring pet sitters!”
“Gage always enjoys his stays with Pam & Mike! He loves hanging out with the other dogs and he comes home very tired. We can tell he is well cared for while we are away.”
